(4) K-3 Illustrated by Neil Waldman. An "old and tired winter wind" needs a place to rest. Everywhere he goes he is shooed away, until he grows frustrated and angry. A girl hears the wind's cry and finds him a resting place. The bluish purple hues help personify the wind's exhaustion and anger, while the softness of the watercolors enrich the folklore-styled story of compassion, which isn't especially child-friendly.

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Blair Drawson. Using many well-known Greek myths, Oberman makes some conjectures about Atlantis and tells us about the connections between the Minoans and the Greeks. The text is sophisticated and better suited to mature readers. The stylized paintings have touches of humor and horror, but the gods and the humans lack the dignity expressed in the telling. Glos.
